I followed this guide, which I have to admit I haven't tried on a new 
21.10 or 22.04 installation:

Disabling Snaps in Ubuntu 20.10 (and 20.04 LTS) —

I'd approach it methodically, making sure you don't wipe out the system 
accidentally. Once snapd is removed, it stays removed as long as you 
don't install a package that's a snap in disguise.
